Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
405 AM EDT Thu Jun 20 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
The easterly flow is beginning to weaken, allowing a decrease in
seas across coastal waters as isolated to scattered storms remain
possible each day into the weekend. However, conditions will
still remain hazardous to small craft through the day and into
this evening. The best chance for storms will be late
afternoon/evening as showers and thunderstorms drift offshore.
Coverage is expected to increase some this weekend (during a
similar time-frame), but by early next week, scattered to numerous
showers and storms could be possible at nearly any time as a
west-southwest flow takes control.
